Response to An update, Found a heavy HW sleeve for the 55 CM....pics

In the last couple decades of the HW 55's life, sleeves were advertised in two weights, 400 grams (about 14 ounces) and 900 grams (the 2-pounder like Gaines's).

The big ones seem to be more common, but the lighter ones would seem to be more useful for those that aren't bodybuilders!

One of the big ones came on my HW 55T. In addition to being too heavy for me, it was so roughly finished inside that it had scratched the muzzle. Needless to say I never re-installed it, and sold it off with no regrets.

That being said, the sleeve looks great on the HW 55 CM, and nicely complements the more serious paper-punching nature of that version.
